There was a discussion a ways back about displacements and reinstatements and how many were left. Curly has posted a displacement and reinstatement page. It shows how many are senior to you that have reinstatement. It will also show where they are currently. From there it seems pretty obvious who is going back and who is not. At least for my feeble mind it does.

Just looking for reference and your thoughts. PMs are fine.
Was looking at either the 73 or 320. Background is Mad Dog and 7ER.
Thank you.

For the Airbus non-initiated: the thing is built with 3rd world operators and stupid-pilot mistakes in mind. Again, go for it. If you can fly the right seat of a Mad Dog, the left seat of an Airbus is going to be a piece of cake.
Finally, I've no proof of this, but I'm pretty sure the instructors talk amongst themselves, and the LOE check airmen have a very good idea what they're getting when you show up at the real airplane. Nobody's getting signed off for anything "real" unless they're ready. So, trust the system.

Anyone have any opinion or experience of what % you start to see some consistent buy offs for IOE? Trying to decide to go to WB and increase QoL significantly or stay 320B and hopefully start seeing some line check airman trips and get bought off.
